    Overview and Scrutiny Committee 23 February 2017 ‘Let’s talk transport – Re-Newcastle’ – development programme update Graham Grant, Head of Transport Investment, Place Directorate 1. Summary 1.1 This report is to provide an update to the Overview and Scrutiny (O&S) Committee on the themes of work identified in the ‘Let’s Talk Transport – Re-Newcastle’ report of July 2014 and subsequent Cabinet reports including March and November 2016. 2. Introduction 2.1 In July 2014, a report to the Council Cabinet noted that our Local Plan recognises that an improved transport network is fundamentally important to the future economic growth and liveability of Newcastle. The paper outlined an approach to take forward the Council’s commitment to upgrade our transport system by helping people to move more freely around, across and within the city. 2.2 In line with the transparent and democratic processes of the Council, the work associated with progressing these recommendations are subject to regular review by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. 3. North East Local Growth Deal schemes 3.1 Following recent announcements by government about Local Growth Deal funding the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (the LEP) are conducting a review of the existing Growth Deal programme. Newcastle City Council, along with all other partners in the North East Combined Authority area are taking part in this review. 3.2 Newcastle City Council originally secured funding for four transport schemes through the first round of the North East Local Growth Deal. The Full Business Case for Scotswood Bridgehead has been submitted and will be assessed against the North East Combined Authority’s assurance framework.

Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.

Friends of the Valley and the Little Dene Chairperson: Audrey Kingham, Secretary: John Stephenson, To: The Review Officer (Newcastle upon Tyne), Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 14th Floor Millbank Tower, 21-24 Millbank, London SW1P 4QP 3rd April 2016 Dear Sir/Madam Consultation on Ward Arrangement – Newcastle Upon Tyne I am responding to the above consultation as the secretary of Friends of the Valley and the Little Dene (FOVALD), an organisation based in High West Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne. We adopted a local open space in our neighbourhood in 2000 and we have been maintaining it, improving it and holding community events on it since then. The space provides recreational opportunities mainly for residents and families living in our neighbourhood (see attached plan). FOVALD is open to all neighbourhood residents. We were consulted by the City Council on the proposals to adjust the ward boundaries in February last. Our neighbourhood is currently in East Gosforth ward and the initial proposal was to take our community out of the Gosforth ward and attach it to communities further east, i.e. towards High Heaton & Benton. In terms of general services, our community links are north-south – we have strong links with Gosforth as well as Jesmond. Therefore, we commented that, from a community perspective, we thought the proposal would have a negative impact and suggested that High West Jesmond be included in either the Gosforth or Jesmond wards.

  • Newcastle City Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Newcastle City Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
